Ann I've done a lot of research into family members who were quite well known actors/actresses in their own tim (this is the mid 1800s) and even on these supposed celebrities of theri time it is a struggle to find information. If you have a specific place where you think your relly played the best bet is to search local papers of around the time where the productions would have been well advertised or to contct the local history society to see if they or anyone they know of collects theatre material from their area. the other source is the theatre Museum who may be able to tell you the name of a theatre or such like in a specific area. Best of luck Zoe

Nearly forgot. STAGE the actors paper have all there back isuses on disc S/ton main library might have a copy you can look through they go back to the mid 1800s

Ann do you have a name, if so try a search with that and add music hall. Also you could go to the Mayflower and ask if they know of any places you can find Info. There have been a few people looking for music hall relles resently and unless they were well known its hard to get any thing on them from the web.

just put music halls in google from janet
